Haywood Has 10,865 Motor Vehicles In the number of people per motor vehicle registered from thin county, Haywood rank* 59th in the state, with an average of 3.46 persons per vehicle. That is .46 of a person higher than the state average of an even three people per vehicle. As would be expected some of the larger counties have the highest percentage, and some of that stems from the fact that many firms own cars and trucks which add into the county total. A number of Haywood's neighbors are below the average for his county. Our larg est neighbor. Buncombe, is just a fraction ahead, with a 3.14 average. In this immedi ate area, Henderson takes the top spot with an average of 2.77. 1'von with 3.46 persons per vehicle, this county has 10,865 motor vehicles registered with the state. That is a sizable number of vehicles when you stop and consider it from many angles. i Difference Between Life and Death The miracles produced by chemistry have beneficially influenced the lives of every one. And in some instances, they have liter ally meant the difference between life and deatl.v Here is just one dramatic instance of that. Pernicious anemia used to be almost in variably fatal, and was responsible for 50,000 d cat hi a year in this country. It was dis covered that a liver diet provided a remedy, but no one knew why. A problem lay in the large daily quantity of liver that sufferers from the disease had to eat. In 1948, a chemist isolated the key sub stance contained in the liver for the first time?vitamin B-12. It possessed amazing powers and only a microscopic amount had to be taken each day. However, it required a ton of liver to produce l/200th of a tea spoon of the precious vitamin?which meant that supplies were limited and extremely ex pensive. The chemists and the chemical industry kept on working. Finally, it was discovered that cultures of the same micro-organism which produces streptomycin could also pro due ? vitamin B-12. That solved the supply problem?and within two years prices to the consumer of this life-saver were cut 97 per cent ! Chemistry makes for better living?and for life itself. Two things that take the pleasure out of pleasures driving?-the motoriftts tearing down the street and the contractor tearing ft up. ? A Duty And Obligation Saturday wiH find the Democrat* of North Carolina nominating candidates for various township, county and state offices. Needless to say, in a great many instances, the Democratic nomination js the same as being elected, because of the large Democrat ic majority* or absence of a candidate on the Republican ticket.^ It is important that the citizens of this county and state go to the polls Saturday and cast their votes for those whom they feel are best qualified for the office they are seeking. According to the general opinions of the best political observers in Haywood, there will be a much lighter than normal vote on Saturday. Some observers feel that the vote will be between 7,000 and 8,000. There has been a time when the primary vote reached 9,400. In May, 1950, when Haywood had a full ticket, the vote reached 8,587. Last primary, in May '52, which was* a so-called off year, the vote was 6,900. In the May 1948 primary the vote was 5,680. This puts Haywood in a rather low bracket for voting. Citizens will perhaps give the matter seri ous consideration and turn out in larger numbers to vote on Saturday. Efficient Secretaries This is a week set aside for paying tribute to secretaries, and one nationally known firm in a large poster, pictures a secretary as "One who keeps house for a nation's busi ness." It is true that secretaries keep things moving in the average office today. As the poster remarks: "She is the one who turns up wherever business is done, remembering what you forgot, doing what you haven't time to do, but also making the nation's of fices as bright and orderly as a well-kept kitchen. She is the one that digs out a speech someone made three years ago, or a news paper clipping that the employer can't re call where he put it, or even what month the event hapf^ned." We have here in WaynesviHe, an active Secretaries Club and their leadership in civic affairs equal their efficiency in the office. Good Reminder About this time of year, we begin to get notices of different community staging cam paigns to clean off cemeteries. Certainly this is timely, and a needed project in the county. * Right along the same line, the News and Observer, in quoting the Durham Sun, sets forth some points along the same line of thinking, in the following editorial: This is a good time of the year for a re minder made by the Durham Sun. In its own city and around it that paper points out there are'a good many private cemeteries which suffer from neglect. Some families have died out; others have moved away. The. weeds and the vines often take over. They need, says The Sun, "some friendly hands." Such attentions "could transform many such areas into focal points o?^>eauty" and dem onstrate "a proper community respect for our dead." Cities, towns and country communities could all serve their appearance and show their good character by a little attention to old cemeteries. Tombstones in a thicket con stitute signs that the living around them are careless of both beauty and tradition. A little energetic attention would honor the dead and bless the living. Shoulder pads have been removed from some of the new summer sport coats.

Report from Washington ? By SENATOR ALTON LENNON WASHINGTON ? We are pre-, paring to have a memorial service in the Senate for the late and great Senator Clyde K. Hoey. TRIBUTES It will be impossible to get all of the editorial comment from North Carolina's newspapers as sembled as a tribute to Senator Hoey. but I am undertaking the task of getting all comment pos sible in order to show the people of the country that North Caro lina held our late Senator in the highest esteem. SADDENED SENATORS United States Senators from many other states joined with us North Carolinians in attending the funeral in Shelby. Renublicans and Democrats alike mourned his pass ing. Senators attending were Rus sell, Chaver. Johnson of Colorado. Johnston of South Carolina, Milli kln. Cordon, Young. Knowland. Holland. Stcnnis, Clements. Gore, Purtell, and Maybank On the special train, as we left Shelby, there was universal comment at the way all of the people of North Carolina revered Senator Hoey. RESPONSIBILITIES It is difficult to express how one feels to suddenly be placed in the responsibility of the office of sen ior Senator. The great and press ? ing problems facing our country I have made it necessary for me to decline many speaking invitations | now and later on this summer in ! order : to be in Washington for these duties. I have done this in ; good faith, in my desire to be of . to vote. Too many of us, are swayed by peiMO nit iu , ? against) a candidate regardless of the < 'ii!iti,.. (,i tlle woman). Perhaps the fact that the candidate hi- ? ?ie 3 p;eiS4||M sion, or looks exceptionally intelligent in " MUsing soipetimes cause an X mark to be placed u little squjnl Unfortunately, not enough time or in\t ' j, ?1V|B voter into the responsibility of the person ekir^ the uffefl No matter how much we admire a candidate personally fl pretty good idea to find out how he will fill ? elfice and he will conduct the interests of the conn's -'.p. arut M J is elected.
